The cold moonlight poured into the quiet Courtyard like mercury, coating the stone slabs, vegetation and eaves with a hazy silver glow.
The black-haired girl and the red-haired girl sat side by side on the wooden steps of the corridor, raising their heads slightly and looking at the perfect jade plate in the night sky.
"When will the war end?"
Karin whispered softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the moonlight.
Next to her, Uchiha Hikari hugged her knees with her hands and rested her chin on her knees. Her long eyelashes cast a shallow shadow under her eyes, and the shadow also contained a faint black and blue color left by days of poor rest.
After Naruto left, she always felt like there was an empty space in her heart, and she couldn't sleep at night.
"Naruto said it would be over before the New Year. It's not autumn yet, so it will be soon."
Karin looked up at the moon, her red hair glowing softly in the moonlight.
She heard Guang's answer, and then sighed, "When I made a promise with Naruto and Guang you on the roof before, the moon was also so round."
As she recalled it, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a warm arc, but it was soon replaced by the worry in front of her.
"Hmm."
Guang responded dully.
She didn't know exactly where Naruto had gone. She wanted to look for it, but she had no clue. This kind of waiting and unknown made her feel uneasy.
The only clue that can be determined is that this trip seems to be related to the Hyuga Clan. He left with Hanabi and Hinata.
It is said that when Naruto went to ask for leave from Hanabi, Principal's Office also heard the roar of Acting Principal Hyuga Hiashi.
But so what?
It's not like I took her with Karin.
Thinking of this, Guang's cheeks puffed up slightly unconsciously, showing a bit of childish annoyance under the moonlight.
"Hikaru-chan."
Karin turned his head and looked at his friend beside him.
The moonlight outlines Uchiha Hikari's delicate profile. The bulging appearance not only does not appear fierce, but also has a different kind of cuteness.
"Shinobi World After peace...
What are you going to do?"
Guang was stunned by the question, and she blinked.
"I don't know."
The girl answered simply, but with a hint of confusion, "I will go wherever Naruto goes."
For her, all future plans are centered around the blond Young Naruto.
Apart from Naruto, she has no one else to worry about.
She asked back, "What about you?"
Karin was silent for a moment, his eyes turned to the distant moon again, his voice was soft but firm. "I also want to stay with Naruto-kun. Shinobi World is very big, but only where he is, it feels like home."
She paused and continued, "If Naruto continues to be Hokage, I will find a job at Konoha. I can't stay at home all the time."
She knew that if Naruto chose to stay in Konoha to take charge of government affairs, as Hokage, the chances of frequently going out to perform tasks would be greatly reduced.
As a Ninja, if you want to be promoted or take on important responsibilities, it is almost normal to go out.
Karin wants to be by Naruto's side, but also wants to be able to actually help him share some of his stress. So, finding a stable job in the village seems to be a good choice for both.
Work?
Guang fell into thinking.
In the past, she had no dreams, no freedom, and no real life of her own.
Now Uchiha Clan has long ceased to exist, and the only remaining member of the clan, Sasuke, is also an important friend of Naruto.
Even if he wants to avenge Uchiha Clan for imprisoning him, he can't.
To be honest, she really lacks a clear plan for her future.
Maybe like Karin said, try to find a job, or develop a hobby of your own?
At least, don't be a drag on Naruto.
Just as the two girls were each thinking about the future, a crisp and cheerful voice broke the silence of Courtyard:
"Light Older Sister! Karin Older Sister! We are back!"
The two of them turned their heads and looked around.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a little girl with long black hair and pure white eyes was waving to them vigorously, with a bright smile on her face. It was Hinata Hanabi.
There were three people standing next to her: Hinata Hinata, a short-haired girl with white eyes and a gentle temperament; a strange girl with long silky white hair, strange eyes, and small wooden horns like antlers on her forehead; and... the blond boy they all yearned for, Uzumaki Naruto.
Guanghe Karin's face instantly lit up with surprise, and he almost stood up to greet him immediately.
However, the next second, Guang's expression suddenly cooled down, as if covered with a layer of frost.
She raised her hand suddenly and stopped Karin who subconsciously wanted to step forward. A pair of dark eyes instantly transformed into the enchanting and magnificent Mangekyō Sharingan, staring at the white-haired strange girl, Otohime.
This is their first time seeing Otohime.
But the other person's signature soft white hair, the pair of Golden's Rinnegan, and the pair of antlers-like Wooden Horns on top of his head. These features combined together reminded Guang of a person.
Urashiki Otsutsuki was defeated by her and Naruto!
Guang's body tensed slightly, and Tomoe rotated slowly in Sharingan, his vigilance and hostility undisguised.
Otohime was naturally keenly aware of Uchiha Hikari's sharp gaze piercing him as if it were real.
But she did not immediately pay attention to Guang's hostility. Instead, she turned her head slightly. Golden's Rinnegan looked at Naruto next to her with a sense of scrutiny. Her tone was full of unabashed surprise and a hint of weird ridicule:
"Hey, Hokage. There are two more women in your family?"
Her eyes swept over Guang and Karin, then looked at Hinata and Hanabi beside her. Her eyes became a little playful, even a little unbelievable.
"You guy... are you a big pervert?"
I have two at home, and I can take two more with me when I go out.
Is this guy a big local noble?
Before Naruto could answer, Otohime seemed to have thought of something. Golden blinked his eyes, and his tone suddenly became a little "enthusiastic" and a little narrow. "Can your body bear it? Tsk, young people should pay attention to moderation."
She drawled, "But...
If you ask me, I might be able to help you 'solve' this problem!"
Naruto, who was habitually trying to reach out to grab the interesting-looking pair of Wooden Horns above Otohime's head to shut up Otohime, suddenly froze in mid-air.
Naruto was a little confused by Otohime's jumping and surprising speech.
But then, the corners of his mouth twitched and he ignored the second half of Otohime's words. The frozen hand fell down, grabbed a Wooden Horns above Otohime's head, and shook her head gently.
"It's great to improve your body, but this is rubbish thinking."
Naruto's eyes are clear and firm.
"I, Naruto Uzumaki, did not grow up on a soft diet!"
His tone was consistent with confidence, "My body can definitely do it!"
After saying this, he realized that he was almost taken in a strange direction, and then shook the corner of Otohime with his hand.
Otohime was swayed from side to side by Naruto. Hanabi and Hinata were already used to this.
In another world before, Naruto was relatively polite at first, but later he simply treated Otohime like a pet.
"Hey, you guys have led me astray."
As he spoke, Naruto quickly raised his other hand and waved it vigorously towards Uchiha Hikari, who was still on high alert with Sharingan's red light flashing on the steps. He showed a comforting smile on his face and his voice became much softer:
"Light, relax. This is Otohime, not an enemy."
